    I dont have these.. but I do have the DSE swivvel link setup..which is a bit better in design, they have it on their rear swaybar also...havent got it installed yet

    speed tech also has this type of setup but they call it articulink

    spohn has it for the one rear swaybar too
    These are the best systems if you want a daily driver with the best ride/handling or if youre going to autox/road race

    but if you want a dual sperical end on your control arms but for less money check out http://www.wolferacecraft.com/ and www.umiperformance.com/

    the problem with the dual sperical ends is they maybe a tad rough due to them not being able to damping vibration..kind of just transfers to the joint and the sperical ends only have about 30degrees of movment in thearoy but sill may be limited to less..
    if its just a street/strip car i'm sure they'll still be great..but if youre want the best in ride and handlingling then the DSE or speedtech is better

    Thanks for the info, I would definitely like to at least do boxed lower control arms. Not quite sold on that ball and socket type joint yet. I won't be racing this car much, just want a nice smooth ride and less wheel hop.

    I have had Currie lower control arms for 6 years. They are spherical at the frame. For anything but drag racing your either have spherical joints or rubber. Anything else is not worth a dam for our rear ends.

    I would definitely prefer rubber over polyurethane for the bushings!
